In Makers of Democracy A. Ricardo Lopez-Pedreros traces the ways in
which a thriving middle class was understood to be a foundational
marker of democracy in Colombia during the second half of the
twentieth century. Drawing on a wide array of sources ranging from
training manuals and oral histories to school and business
archives, Lopez-Pedreros shows how the Colombian middle class
created a model of democracy based on free-market ideologies,
private property rights, material inequality, and an emphasis on a
masculine work culture. This model, which naturalized class and
gender hierarchies, provided the groundwork for Colombia's later
adoption of neoliberalism and inspired the emergence of alternate
models of democracy and social hierarchies in the 1960s and 1970s
that helped foment political radicalization. By highlighting the
contested relationships between class, gender, economics, and
politics, Lopez-Pedreros theorizes democracy as a historically
unstable practice that exacerbated multiple forms of domination,
thereby prompting a rethinking of the formation of democracies
throughout the Americas.
